Greg,

My blooming in 4x4 looks very much like the 2nd and 3rd pics from above, although I also get some eggy tracking images as in the other pics, but no blooming in actual imaging type shots and duration shots, just the 1sec or so repeat focussing pics at 4x4. Makes checking focus a pain.

I will try and grab a screen shot when the the clouds let me. I may also ask Theo or the QHY forum after I investigate a little more.

David, I have the ASCOM drivers and may give them a whirl, it's just that I've had enough on my plate with a new scope, a new camera, the move from OSC to Mono, so have left the new software curve for a bit later.

Oh and it's also time to mount the C8 Hyperstar again and do some OSC widefield on Fornax and Orion.....Time flies when you're havin' fun.

Thanks all for your constructive comments.
